I spent 40 years living a very sinful life with little or no interest in God or Jesus. I thought the Bible and salvation were nonsense. I was proud of my “toughness” and intellectual pride and I “celebrated” my sin!!! God has softened my heart and shown me the real nonsense is the way I used to think and behave. Thank you Jesus for calling me out of the darkness.
Please pray for me then because I am VERY hard, battling with stubbornness, pride and insensitivity to others.... I don't know what to do with it. I try to give up hardness all together
Google censors conservative news that’s good :) to me it feels like God is hardening *MY* heart. I don’t wanna put the blame on God or seem like I’m blaming him. But I ask for help with sexual sin but it feels like I’m good for 2-4 days then I go right back to it.
I need a miracle from God to be saved from this sudden blindness I can't seem to break free of. Please Lord, I ask for a soft heart. Let me love you and obey you forever. My mind is very willing but tonight my heart is hard. I need you.
Remember God's promises and remember that His word is truth. Feelings are just that. Feelings are often misleading. What you need to do is hold fast to His promises and truth and practise discipline of praying, worshipping and reading the word. Truth trumps feelings.
I would like to request prayer for my friend Haseem whose heart is hardened to Jesus and set on Islam. Pray he has a personal experience with Jesus Christ and comes to know who he truly is. Thank you
EVERLASTING PAPA.. full of Mercy and Grace.. Who Loves beyond understanding.. if I have any power or influence with You through the Matchless Blood of Christ.. I enter boldly to ask You to save this man.. Please Use Your Spirit to overcome any lofty idea or imagination that lifts itself up against the true knowledge of God.. To the enemy of blindness and lies I say to you, "the LORD rebuke you in Jesus Name".. your cunningly designed fables will not stand in the mind of this future dear child of God.. Glorify Yourself PAPA in saving to the uttermost this man who is held in chains by this devil of islam..i look forward to praising You in Victory but until then i will continually tell of Your Wonderful Sovereignty and Endless Grace..amen
Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, And lean Not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV, ERV, NLT
I Need God to Please Cleanse Me Heal Me, And Those I Have Hurt, In My Foolish Past, Please Heal Me Lord, Please Help Me and My Family In Jesus Name 🙏🕊️❤️🩵💙💜
Yes.God had mercy on me and gave me a heart of flesh.When i look back where he took me from I am terribly ashamed and grateful.This total change only happened at the age of 55.Now turning 64 and not possible to go back into the world by his wonderful grace.I have never had it tougher than I got it now but it keeps me calling trusting talking praying and on my knees in front of the Lord.He dwells in my heart and is my reason for living and dying. Glory to you my Lord Jesus Christ.
Janice, I love you and God does to. His love for you is more then you could ever imagine. You must follow God even when it feels like he has given up on you. Because the truth is, he has not given up on you. He is WAITING for you. Read his word everyday for knowledge and wisdom. He WILL save you. You must do WHATEVER IT TAKES to find him. Fast if you need to. Seek him earnestly and eagerly every day. Take out any distractions in your life (social media, tv, video games, ect.) I was once where you are at. JESUS CHRIST, GOD ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF ALL SAVED ME!! GLORY TO GOD BLESSED BE HIS NAME!
My heart was harden by my own will, not God's How did I soften it? I let go of my pride. I stop thinking about myself... the praises I get I stopped dwelling on... I stop thinking about my success and accomplishments. I also started reading the Bible (3 chapters a day... do it for 1 year and you finish it). THAT transformed my heart completely.
I know the Feeling, But I am Never Giving up Hope in Jesus, No Matter What, Because Jesus Went through a Lot, and He Paid The Price For Us, And I Believe it is More Powerful than Most Understand or Know 🙌🏾🙏❤️🕊️
God doesn't harden or soften a heart in the sense of an individual having no choice in the matter. It is the presence of God and the individual's response to His presence that hardens or softens their heart.
My name is Nicholas Celia and believe I've been consigned to hell; that my heart has hardened to the point of atrophy. There is a negative knee jerk reaction to much of the Christian paradigm, and believe I also am suffering a demonic attachment. Heavenly Father, in the name of Christ Jesus, forgive me of my sins as I repent, asking you sweet Jesus to allow me to break free from the fear, doubt, hopelessness and unbelief. Amen
Hi Nicholas. There is always hope in out precious and sovereign savior Jesus Christ. If you want to be saved, YOU CAN! It’s a free gift and not attained or diminished by any works you do! Hope you’re feeling better, I recognize this comment is rather old.
No you're not consigned to hell, I used to think that too but the devil is really trying to discourage you because of your situation, it's what he does.. My heart was hardened to the point to where I couldn't even feel it at all and ontop of that I was spiritually dead! Death of the soul along with a hardened heart due to years of rebellion. I have not known more terrifying days, truly I thought I was destined to go to hell for sure but I never stopped chasing after God in repentance and at the end (4 months seeking him zealously), he came through and restored all that I lost due to my sinful life. I learned to never underestimate God's grace and mercy. If I came back from that, what makes you think you can't? Satan's A LIAR. Keep going forward cause the more you fear the heavier the burden. I feel like God recommended this video to me matter of fact to encourage those struggling with this scary situation, I know it too well, it's scary. no matter how you feel, there is hope in God :)
My heart feels hardened. I read one parable of Jesus about planting seeds. That some seeds stay good for a while but than it goes bad. I think I was one of those, Jesus touched me before. But I lost my path and tried to find it back. My heart still feels heavy I have sinned against people which is ultimately sinning against God, this has burdened me. I tried to pray few times for it but still feels heavy.
Please don't follow the counsel of the evil one. God forgives us through His son Jesus Christ. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just that He may forgive us Our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
@Anne Edward Honesty I've been praying but due to the hardness of my heart I feel like I'm not doing it wholeheartedly, my heart was once so fire for the Lord but now I don't feel him anymore:( I thought I maybe did the unforgivable sin and I willfully sin that's why my heart hardened:( I have thoughts that I'm no longer saved:((.
Peace to You Family I Know For A Fact You Haven't Done Worse To People Than Me, And My Own People, In My Drug Addiction...I Have Been Clean For 6 Years, And God is Slowly Building Back Those Relationships That I Hurt, God Has Given Me A Second Chance, And Ge Will Do it For You Too, Do You Believe This? Because You Must Believe In Order For God To Work, Believe That He Loves You, Do He Love What We Did? No .. But We Are Not an Enemy of God If We Are Seeking Him Bro, We Are Fallen Humans, Like Everyone else 🙏🕊️❤️
It is so reassuring to hear this from Pastor John just this confirmation can give us all hope for our loved ones whose hearts are hardened. Let’s all pray collectively for each others, every single one posting on this. Heavenly Father God, precious and Holy God we lift our hearts and voices to You today and bring each and every loved one to You, those who don’t know You, those whose hearts are hardened. Father God we pray right now for each and every one that their eyes are opened and they will know the precious love of You our Lord God. Fill them with the Holy Spirit Lord, let them see You, let them come to You repenting of their sin and know they are forgiven, that they can have eternity with You and be completely free from all sin and love the life You have set before them for Your Glory. In Your Sons precious name Jesus we pray 🙏🏻
Please pray for me? I willfully sinned after being reborn and I wish i could go back and change it. I am afraid i can no longer be saved. I know he can do all things. I feel like i lost my Salvation and cant get it back. I have been praying, please help
Aaliyah Lin I have been there, and I know the darkness and heaviness of bearing the burden of that lie. If we believe that we are damned to hell after falling into sin, then we’re trusting in works and not in God’s divine grace. Humble yourself. Repent. Weep. Fast and pray. It’s ALWAYS our hearts God is after. Psalm 51:17 says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” King David and the apostle Paul were murderers yet Paul was Jesus’ most faithful servant, and David was considered “a man after God’s own heart.” May these truths pierce deep into your soul. Praying for you my dear sister in Christ. ❤️
@@EmilioYitzhak honestly I don't know. For a while I was scared. Then I got better. I felt kinda forgiven. But I really haven't been a good christian. I haven't been praying, or reading my bible.i want to get back on track, I just feel discouraged. I still get scared that I've lost my salvation, but all I can do is have faith in Jesus.
This is so timely, I was thinking that I have a heart like Jonah. I am angry with worldly people around me, that I feel that my heart is hardened. This is an ongoing battle, Jesus though always remind me of His love, and be merciful. Thank you for the Word, Pastor, this is really for me. Take heart.
“Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side...but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.” Mark 6:45, 49-52 “And Jesus asked the disciples, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."” Mark 8:29 He absolutely softens hearts that are hardened.
Pray for me. I feel im being oppressed or possessed. As a Christian I went into occult I told God to leave me alone. I since I have repented. But I'm being attacked. Afraid I lost my salvation. I feel dead inside Please pray for me. I feel I 😪 grieved God too much and He left me Please pray that I can receive the mercy of the Lord. I'm afraid I have wondered too far. Pray that His mercy will reach me. I heard Him say He will not always strive with man. I am scared
My heart is harder than stone its literally solid steel, I can't have compassion for anyone and I laugh at the misery of my enemies it brings me so much joy and pleasure. My heart has gone so hard I look at a soft heart as a weakness. Please pray for me
@@patrickphilip777 praying for you and Caleb, that your hearts would be softened. Never give up hope, for '...all things are possible with God' (Mark 10:27) 'being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.' Philippians 1:6 NIV philippians.bible/philippians-1-6 Hoping I haven't put that verse out of context.
Please pray for my muslim friend, that god opens her eyes and fills her with the holy spirit, that she falls in love with the true Jesus and that she follows him. Thank you :)
jason 123 it’s a woman you really love, I can tell, I am currently in the same boat, I will pray for you, I know how it feels, her religions keeps us apart and I love her, I know you do too, I cry everyday, every night, I know the feeling. I will surely pray for you
@@tahjaespencer3463 thank you soo much!! You're absolutely right about everything. But God has a purpose for our pain and it will all work out for our good and his glory. I'll be praying for you too! Don't lose hope in our God, who heals, restores and delivers
I will pray for her and that she has a personal experience with Jesus Christ! Please pray for my friend Haseem he is also a Muslim.. pray they both find truth and comfort in Jesus Christ may the eyes of their hearts be open to Him. Prayers work! God is faithful
Somebody please answer to me why I pray everyday in faith that God will soften my heart, not only to love Him but to have an understanding of Him and nothing happens. I want to follow Jesus but I haven’t heard anything from him in a year and a half. I was born again but I had no one around me. Christianity is not possible alone so I fell into my sins again. People have told me that grace leaves when you sin willingly. I’ve been spiritually blind since. Hard hearted. Im afraid I committed the unforgivable sin in my anger out of ignorance. Can someone get me some guidance or help? This has been a year and I’m ready to call it quits.
Please pray for my husband Andy. He went from baptizing our children to walking away from Jesus as well as our family. His heart is stone and Satan has blinded him. He believes he has done the right thing and is on the right path for him.
🙏😍 Praying He Comes Back to His First Love Seasons Come And Seasons Go Praying For Peace For You and Your Household 🙏🙏🙏🕊️ I Am A Father of 5 and I Know What You Mean.
@@reoinniaamos6369 turning completely away from everything I knew to be sin and lots of Prather and fasting. Can you email me? I want to share something with you. Lewis.richina09@gmail.com
I had my heart softened by a tragedy, but because I felt I couldn't bear the burden, I hardened myself back. Worst mistake in my life, now I have literally no desire to guide me back. Only a rational conscience that guides me to change, but no desire. I just do the right things because I know I have to Never sear your conscience or harden your heart. It's second only to suicide (except you're not dead yet). You may not recover in time and you may miss out most of life in the process I am so frightened I feel like running in the street but to no avail. It's like being in hell without knowing it yet
The devil wants you to fall and never get up and each time I fall it’s harder to get up but don’t give up on the Holy power of Christ Jesus refocus on him he died for all our sins
Please pray for my entire family. Majority are lost including my parents. My father's heart is very hardened. We flew there with our daughter last week for a memorial 'party' for my grandma. She grew up Catholic and I told her about God many times including on the phone the day she passed in the hospital , but I'm not sure if she accepted God. We used this chance to speak the truth. We got the microphone and shared the truth of God and sang Revelation song. I think another seed was planted but they still don't grasp it- they all gathered and got drunk and ate afterward, even the 'Christian' aunt of mine. Please pray for them I love them very much and I wonder why the Lord chose me as his Elect but not them.
I believe, that with God. All things are possible. Not to sound selfish. However, I request prayer from you. Please pray for me, to become closer to him and focus more on him. I need him in my life. I'm nothing with out him. I want to be an example for his purpose. I do believe in him. I desire him. Thank you.
Can y’all pray and help me? I’ve been in habitual sin and have sinned knowingly against God. Then I decided to stop sinning and try to turn back to God but then started feeling guilt for my sins and later started having doubts of God and His existence and felt like I was hostile/angry towards God. My pastor cleared some stuff and my doubts seemed to go away but the next morning the doubts came back and got worse and sometimes I think that he doesn’t really exists but sometimes I feel like He does. I feel like I’m an unbeliever now but somehow I still pray to God and pray to Him to change me and to restore my faith. I feel like the enemy has pulled me away when I tried to turn away from sin and back to God. I worry that I committed the unpardonable sin. I noticed that I also lost emotion on things because of all this. I feel like I’ve been spiritually blinded and my heart has hardened. I want God to change me and to open my spiritual eyes and change my heart and to restore my faith fully to Him to obey and honor Him. My sister and pastor and someone said this is probably a season I’m experiencing but im doubtful of that. I want to return to Him but I feel extremely hopeless, tired, unmotivated now and feel like giving up. But I don’t want to give up even though I feel exhausted and hopeless :(
When we know our Savior we want to become better, healed from our sins. I had to overcome the perceived insult, accepting that I AM a sinner in need of mercy and grace.
God can change you at the snap of your fingers. Instantly in all time. The hardening is the for softness - The other way to perceive it is war and peace, This is always the difference between is where we children learn in self realizations, we are both the question and our own answer, we just do not realize it at the time.
I believe God can do the seemingly impossible. Praying myself for many and one in particular who thinks I am a joke and all I stand for no matter how I loved. God has a way of getting our attention. Believing for the miracle. Soon I will see the change God made.
I've wondered that if a hardened heart can really soften. God can hardened whom ever he chooses and he can give a new heart to. He gives man free will. If they change their mind then God will soften their heart.
Please pray for me as I am a pastor and struggling with a hardened heart… I am struggling with substance use and want to be freed and reconnect with Him! There is nothing better than a relationship with our Father! I need Him, I believe He can have mercy and grace on my soul ! Please pray and let me know you’re praying! I believe in the power and no longer want to be ensnared in sin… I want my wife and boys to have a great husband and a man of God to follow! Please replace my heart of stone and unharden my heart Father! I know you’re willing ! Satan you have no control over me!! 🙏🙏🙏
😐 YAH has softened my heart before, but I slipped back into old habits, and now I feel slightly empty again. I repent and want the joy and freedom I felt before. In YAHSHUA’s Name, AMEN!!! 🙌🏾
Can you please pray for my heart? I’m 14. And just today I felt my heart harden. I want to come back to God but I don’t know what’s stopping me. Or what I am holding onto that is stopping my heart from accepting God fully.
I SO Wish that EVERYONE ever born were chosen! To be Chosen is such an unfathomable thought. Grace, Mercy, Love for me-why me? I’m so glad He Chose me. To Jerusalem He said, “ Jerusalem...I would have...but you would not.” There seems to be another side to the same coin. “Some Day He’ll Make It Plain To Me”. I think in song titles, sometimes.
@@Lil_das well.. I was suicidal and depressed, and I’m not really sure what changed tbh, so I wish I could help but I’m still in the process of recovery. My best advice is to trust in God, and never stop praying. God bless.
@@Lil_das I’m not sure if my heart was really hardened, but it was hard for me to feel emotion, and I felt less empathetic, yet I didn’t lose emotions completely because every time something little would happen I would be either angry or super sad.. so I believe I was emotionally numb.
Im not sure im saved because im in bondage to a sin He seemed to take away at first after I accepted Him and repented and it came bacj and it wont go away ive asked God for help many times Im so confused whats going on all I want is to serve and love Jesus but I cant fully and I hate it
Mike Hill Salvation is not about you stopping sin. Its about Jesus bearing your sins on the cross, in your place, and wiping them OFF your account forever with his precious blood (and that includes future sins). You said, "I'm not sure Im saved because im in bondage to a sin..." If salvation were based on you and what you do, then you definitely would not be saved. But it is not. Jesus made peace for you with God by *_the blood of his cross_** .* It is finished. Rest. He's done it all. Nothing you have to do...trust and rely on what HE did out of his great love for you. God bless.
@@hemadepeacethroughtheblood5800 Amen I fully agree I recently listned to a sermon by John Mcarthur on repentence and thats made me worry ive not had true repentence which only God can give because as you say its all about Him not me :)
Thank you in advance God, forgive me for being so self absorbed, hearting my own heart. God please forgive me. I love you, i respect you i honor, you, holy ghost i love you i respect you i honor you. Jesus i am very sorry Lord, forgive me of all my sin. And i let go. Father, son, holy ghost have your way.
is solomon an example of this? i mean he became blinded by and in bondage to sin and drove israel to idolatry, but ended up writing ecclesiastes in the end..
I’ve had a hardened heart towards Jesus I can’t read the Old Testament without my heart being angry at him I don’t know what to do I’m scared that I might’ve blasphemed against the Holy Spirit I need help
How do we know if God hasn’t given up on us or given us over? If ones heart was hardened and couldn’t cry but then could and felt it months later does that mean God softened it and has forgiven them?
Agreed, but how about apostates who know the truth and turn their backs on it? Can they turn back? "For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt." Heb 6:4-6 Does this mean that there is not other way than the Gospel, or that there is no longer a way to soften their hearts?
It’s possible for God to change any man that has not committed blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. It’s improbable that men and women aligned with apostasy will ever be free from their own deception, especially those religious trusting in their own self-righteousness decade after decade (those so old, hardened, and deceived and in danger of passing away). God will save them if He chooses.
Dan Ball Read Luke 15 and see the heart of God...(and this is not even about people being SAVED...but you can see the heart of God in it.) And to say someone cannot be forgiven DENIES the heart of God...who is LOVE.
Hey pastor John, I was recently confronted with a question from one of my friends that had me wondering, it’s purely hypothetical, but if Satan asked for forgiveness, would and could Jesus redeem him?
I had a soft heart....then the ways of the world hardened it so I could dance with the devil....trying to overcome the system of things....I was a dedicated inventor till I realized innovating self was the only way....then my red heart became Purple Heart 💜....softened but not soft....that was my path to become a real boy Pinocchio...a retooled spirit .....I never found God....he found me.....once I found myself.....ps....was revealed to me....I’m also a stigmatic....’a’ Christ now....devil to self deniers.....x
I need help. I have a habitual sin of pornography and masturbation. Saying this is hard enough because I hate feeling like I'm vulnerable by opening up. I recently thought that I was saved but I fell back to the sin. I want to feel sorry but i haven't repented yet and I feel like i should but theres no drive. My mind keeps thinking "oh you are fine, just try again" but I feel like I am abusing Gods forgiveness... should I just give up and not ask anymore this is the 3rd time I would have asked for forgiveness but this time I don't feel the drive like last time. I feel like I have a hardened heart and I dont know what to do. I know I want him but i dont know how to make my heart feel it like last time... am I a lost cause and should I just accept that God wont forgive me?
Some guy from mars Some guy from mars Hey man. I know exactly how you feel. For the past 10-12 years I had watched pornography nearly every day almost 3 times a day sometimes. I stopped back in March time frame, so it’s been pretty recent. I know how you feel. First of all Romans 8:8 says “so then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” It’s not what he wants for our life, but it’s such a struggle. Sometimes we feel like we can’t be forgiven, but that’s not true! Matthew 18:22 says to forgive 70 times 7 which would be 490. It’s not a literal number how could you even keep track of that. Jesus was meaning that he forgives us over and over again. However, we should strive to not sin. I have two solutions to propose to you that helped me STOP watching pornography. #1 Watch ((Two strategies to win the war on Lust with John Piper)). #2 download the Blue Letter Bible app and read the commentary of Romans 6,7, and 8. You can read the commentary by Chuck Smith by clicking on the Bible passage, Select Text Commentaries, and go to C2000 Series on Romans 5-6. Scroll down to where the commentary starts on chapter 6. Also you can read the commentary for Hebrews chapter 12 that John Piper recommends you to read in the video (Two strategies to win the war on lust.) I hope you look up these verse. Let me know if this helps you. Know that you are not alone in the fights against your flesh. We all fall short, but we need to fight against our flesh.
@John dodge @guillotine283 Thank you guys. I am trying again today. I put blocks on my phone and have a bible app that I have saved parts of scripture that when I get that urge I read and try to fight against it. I get what yall mean when i need to get passed this feeling of vulnerability. I want to try again. The only thing is... I'm scared because of one piece of scripture that I cant remember where it was at but it said along the lines of "when you knew Jesus and turned away from him, there is no more sacrifice for you." And that scares me because I k kw I want him and I dont know if I did turn my back on him. I had those thoughts but I always pushed them out. I just feel lost. Like I cant be redeemed, and that I need to get used to the fact that Hell is waiting for me
Some guy from mars That’s a lie from the pit of Hell dude!! 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Jesus wants you to be saved more than you want to be saved. He’s a better Savior than you are a Sinner!!!! Run towards Him. He loves you and forgives you so much. Serious read Romans 6-8. You’ll find that in Romans 7 Paul writes about how he finds himself doing the thing he hates to do. It’s because as long as we live in this flesh no good thing dwells in our flesh like nature. Also Jeremiah 17:9 says, “"The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” We are wicked little sinners, but he is a gracious forgiving God. You’re not damned to Hell brother. Also you’re not more saved the day you don’t watch porn vs. the day you do watch porn. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.” See you are saved by GRACE alone BECAUSE of your FAITH in what Jesus did on the cross!!! Nothing you do or don’t do can make yourself any more justified than you are now. Only Jesus death on the cross can cleanse you. With that understanding that he Died for YOUR sins it should make you go ((WOW)). I should deny myself because of Jesus SACRIFICE. Romans 6:1-2 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in (sin) that GRACE may (abound)? 2. Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live (((any longer))) in it?” Were saved by GRACE. Just work on not abusing that GRACE. Your going to struggle, but it’s great that you are struggling vs walking in sin with no remorse.
Thank you so much guys! Its been a rough week with other things that have happened besides my own sins. And I feel like it's all a test. A test I was failing and almost gave up on. But I crave to have him with me and to mold my disgusting self into something he wants for the world and will be in his favor. I have thoughts here and there still of "maybe he didnt forgive me and I'm just playing myself" but I go back to Roman's 8 38-39 to show just how powerful he is. More than I or my thoughts and that I can and have to try again; and though I may stumble I know Jesus will pick me back up and help me.
Some guy from mars Hello. I used to have similar fears. I have a question for you: Can your tears of sorrow over your sins WASH AWAY your sins? Does your sorrow have the power to wash away your sins? I have another question: If you stopped pornography and masturbation from this day forward, would that take the sin and guilt of doing it in the past....would it take the sin and guilt off your account? One more question: Are your tears of sorrow a sufficient sacrifice to save you? I mean is that what the gospel (good news) is about? YOUR sacrifice?(See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) God bless... and I hope these questions help. Feel free to respond to me and ask me anything.
I Have Had Sins I Developed As a Child, And They Hardened over the Years, And Developed Habits That Try to Ruin My Life, Even At 41, I Am Still Praying Asking God For Grace to Overcome Something That I Fell into as An Innocent Child, I Had No Clue, But I Still Choose to Trust Jesus Christ of Nazareth, But I'm Asking God To Be Free From This Besetting Sin, Since a Child, And He Has Already Delivered Me From Countless other Demons, So I Know Ge Can Do This One Too, Praying Your Grace On Me Jesus For Being Fallen, A Sinner Who Needs You, Needs Your Sacrifice in My Place, No Matter The Cost on Earth, Just Please Let It End With Your Grace 😢..In Jesus Name I Pray 🙏Amen .. Let Me Be Right Because of Jesus Not Me.❤
I was saved i use to think i was bi and everyone was lol been free from insatiable lust . Holy spirit filled Yeshua is my husband Perhaps Yahweh has a husband for me soon . never married . Pray i get one soon .lol
I learned the hard way that the beautiful women i chased after play no part in their beauty, most use it for evil and to tempt. God who created that beauty loves me infinite :) This perspective leaves me satisfied without a partner.
Hi everyone, four years ago I went through something traumatic that caused my heart to harden/close up I cry and cry and beg and beg god to open my heart yet nothing happens. People have even prayed over me and nothing changes. Idk what to do. Pls help
And why does it feel like no matter how much I want to love and serve God , im not able and how is it a choice and how do I keep hope if God has gave me over no matter how much I cry to him and try to seek him and to change myself? Please help im terrified
We are flooded in this world with a corrupt lifestyle even Lot who was considered righteous was vexed by what he was seeing living in Sodom it takes practice to keep are eyes on Jesus Christ God loves us and is there whenever we turn to him get up even when you fall
So God hardens all hearts from birth so as to soften some of them? By making the condition of man from birth to be in a state of total moral inability Calvinists have put the ultimate blame for all the hardness of men onto the “sovereign decree” rather than on men.
please I need you to pray for me, I have a heart of stone and I am about to fall into a cauterized consciousness, pray that Jesus softens my heart and I can return to him
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. Ecclesiastes:3:10-15 Please I too am a witness of Jesus Christ and his Word is only in the Bible. Never question my master, my Lord. But if any one wanna know him, then come closer to his Word. I am sure all my brethren already have known this and will do know this. Amen. Glory and thanks and honour to Our God, the most High, possessor of heaven and earth.
Weird video back August September 2017 I'd feeling I would get sick like back May 2014 (Worse than 2014) October 2nd or 3rd I keep feeling thirsty dry mouth Didn't think I got sick October 15th, 2017 November 11th, 2017 1st time I visit Medical QiGong at Norkenzie Church of Christ (He no longer teaches at Church) my dads teacher Sunny (I don't forgot real name) used 3rd spiritual accuracy told me pain heart area reasons he told me Negative thinking caused my heart fire (Chinese Bible Hard heart) (Longest Time I ever been sick n my life November 2019 current symptoms fear (Anxiety), loss happines (Joy), sadness, sense death wave, uncontrollable negativity, white thick sticky mucus (phlegm, Sputum) I forget happiness feel likes accupuncture helped not cured) May 2018 (I don't recall dates) I'd dreams Sweet Abby model touching heart & demon human figures stab me n chest (deep down knew I'm dying brain told me I'm healthy not dying I forgot hunger felt like I kno throat now don't recall I'm hungry or not Symptoms: burning chest after waking up, loss hunger (Appetite), nausea, unexplained fear day n night).
I still have a question about Pharoe... God TOLD Moses that he would HARDEN PHAROES HEART SO THAT HE WILL NOT FREE THE JEWS... Can someone, anyone answer this? I personally take it that God will decide who he will and won’t “accept”. So that makes me wonder if God wants some to be lost for a purpose??
Yeah but on the flip side of that God doesn't just Harden people's hearts .if they're hardening their hearts then that's one thing because I'm their to blame for hardened their hearts but good does NOT just decide oh you're going to hell and oh you're not ! that is not scriptural
Christians do not "turn away" from God. They are dead on the cross, born again and already seated in heaven. Their names are in the Lambs Book of Life from the foundation of the world.Jesus Christ does not give salvation and take it away, His mercy endures forever even as we sin till our dying day. Turning away from sin as the new creation is a reflection of His finished work.
@@CoCoFantastique My reply was to address the wording of "turning away" from God.To imply a Christian can walk away from the Lord is not scriptural, that in itself teaches works based salvation and we need to be very clear that while Christians do rebel, sin and slip our salvation is secure in Yeshua There is no fragility in being a Christian, it stands on the pillars of Gods infinite power :)
Why God hardens some makes sense if you first understand that God is going to save all men. 1 Timothy 4:10-11 KJVS [10] For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. [11] These things command and teach. The 9th chapter of Romans gives a closer look at why God hardens some. Romans 9:11-13 KJVS [11] (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) [12] It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. [13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. So that the election might stand! A few verses later in this chapter goes deeper into the matter. Romans 9:20-24 KJVS [20] Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it , Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [22] What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: [23] And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, [24] Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? The book of Revelation and the catastrophic events which are prophetically foretold in this book, can be viewed in context with the above verses from Romans. A careful reading of these verses point to a cause and effect relationship between verse 22 and 23 based on the Greek word translated into the English word “that”near the beginning of verse 23. The definition of that Greek word follows. Strong’s Number G2443 Thayer’s Definition that, in order that, so that It was necessary for there to be vessels of wrath fitted for destruction who are playing a role that God assigned to them. In order that there would be vessels of mercy. Why? It may not seem obvious at first, but affliction and suffering are necessary for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:16-19 KJVS [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together. [18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. The body of Christ can only achieve spiritual maturity through having their senses exercised in discerning good and evil. Hebrews 5:12-14 KJVS [12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. [13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. God plays a primary role in this maturation process. Hebrews 12:6,11 KJVS [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Once the body of Christ is made mature by God, they will begin to fulfill the purpose God has in mind for them. Ephesians 1:9-12 KJVS [9] Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: [10] That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: [11] In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: [12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. It is like a sock that is inside out. One reaches into it, grabs the toe of the sock and then pull the toe through to have the sock right side out. The sock is the world and the toe the Christ that puts everything right. www.justifiedfreely.com/?p=1094
Well said really good at telling it truth fully Can you tell me if you know from God's word where all the catholics go when the die, they ones who don't know any Truth of Jesus only that He was born of Mary therefore she is worshipped more than Jesus in the church. A man once told me that Jesus and His mother are to be worshiped equally. Thanks so much x
gurteenview If you read this I think your questions will be answered. www.justifiedfreely.com/?p=1011 All men are to be saved, but not all at the same time.
God doesn't "harden" people's heart The word used in Exodus against Pharaoh is actually: "Strengthen".... In other words, to increase in "potent" what is already there! Please get that straight! The pharaoh heart was already resisting God even before God even "strengthened (increasing the potency)" of the pharaoh's heart It is like Captain America serum It makes a good person... more good and a bad person... more bad
Please I need help, my heart is hardened and I haven’t had sleep all night and I need help please, pray for me I need help my name is Gabriel all I want to do is be obedient to God and find his love please
@@shelovesjesus I'm doing better, God has a way of punishing disobedience but he loves us, while we breathe there is mercy otherwise God would just end us if he did not want us to have mercy anymore

But he showed me believers who still want him can’t commit this sin. I’m Glad you are doing better!!! Amen God bless 🥰❤️
Questions I have: 1. Why are humans held accountable for things they have no self determination for? Life, salvation, sin, etc. 2. Why is God's answer's to life always "you are dust" or "you are a vapor" or "potter over clay" or "where were you when" or "I will have mercy on whom I will"? 3. Given our memories, How are we going to stop sinning after the millennial? 4. How are we going to get over seeing loved ones being thrown into the lake of fire knowing that GOD is the one that put them there? 5. How has your son's reprobate lifestyle affected your walk with GOD?
The forth one. I don’t think we will REMEBER our lives on earth when we get to heaven. We won’t miss out old lives and there will be no husband or wife or son or daughter, of fact, you’ll be too happy to even be thinking about the people in hell. You won’t be able to cry or get angry
I personally experienced the hardened heart along with a spiritual death of the soul due to many years of rebellion. The death of the soul... i have not known more terrifying days in all my life.
@@tribulentone2599 man bro how did you come out of it? Im cold spiritually Im struggling with a hardened heart and pride and I'm just forcing my self to pray and read and even in my bible reading I'm not getting much revelation. I feel faithless and like giving up im dealing with fear and anxiety and nightmares and demonic attacks nightly and I feel exhausted in soul mind body and spirit. If you dont mind can you explain to me your testimony of what you went through? I would love to hear a testimony of hope to kind of encourage me.
@@julianjauregui2938 yeah man, my testimony would most likely help. One day I felt something seriously wrong because I was deep into sexual perversion like I legit reveled in my wickedness, I loved every minute of it that I was becoming extremely depraved and I wasn't bothered by it, I just kept lusting ferociously without brakes That was until one night, I felt something seriously off, like my heart was as hard as steel and felt "dead" within. Can't even put it into words but you know what him talking about. That was until I saw a preacher talk about the wages of sin equals death and that's where it shocked me because it's about the death of the soul. I was beyond terrified, so I searched the issue from front to back and the only conclusion was that this spiritual wickedness I indulged in what ALL MY FAULT. Knowing I had no other choice but to repent and I mean truly repent, I wept, I prayed, I read my Bible, I didn't involve myself in not a single speck of sin I could think of, I persued after God's Holy spirit like never before for Four months. Shortly after four months straight I suddenly felt normal again, my heart, my soul revived and oh man I was relieved and I sure felt closer to God because there were was a lot of synchronicity and abnormal occurrences in my daily life where he was showing me he was there with me. My best advice for you, persue after him like I did and try living as righteous as you possibly can. Faith Obedience Discipline This is key from my experience. And let me tell you what, that wretched Satan will throw so many lies your way like "your too far gone", "you committed the blasphemy of the holy spirit" don't you believe it. You are not too far gone, he's just trying to stop you from that path. I don't care how discouraged you are, keep pushing and never give up. God is there. On a side note I had a buddy who was spiritually dead as I was as well who had the hardened heart due to pride , blasphemy and some other serious sins plus matter of fact, I honestly think his case was even more severe than ours because he became bedsick for weeks without end and he claimed to have seen God in a dream being Very Angry at him for his apostate rebellion. But in the end he was restored too and never looked back. With God there is hope indeed. Goodluck man, never ever give up nor fall for the Devil's lies you will feel and hear along the way, he's gonna throw every negative whisper or emotion your way to discourage you. Goodluck
Pray with me, Jason and julianne, my Lord give ears unto my lips, you children come before you with a task bigger than us, my lord we put our trust in thee and only thee. Our loved one needs saving from the shackles of Islam and religion and ABBA only you can do this thing, for there is no saviour besides you o lord. My king be exalted and glorified in this matter, let saving them be a testimony unto your glory and mercy to us and a testimony unto your Glory lord Jesus for them and their household. What is their wisdom compared to yours ? Confront and confound them o God, show thyself wise. What is their stubbornness to you oh God, when you command the skies and animals which do not understand language and they do as you say. Just speak thy word only and these people be saved. As Abraham went pleaded with you to save Lot in your he city of sodom, so do we plead with you to save these people and many more like them Lord if you find, a remnant of good in them, save them oh God. As you appeared to Paul on the way to Damascus, do confront them in all your Glory, for they kick against the prick. My lord exile them not from your presence for they will perish. My lord save them, arise oh God and stretch forth thy hand, phill them from the depths of the ocean as you did with peter lest they drown, arise my God for you are my salvation and a light unto my feet, and so shall you be unto them, speak thy word only and it be done lord, Aisha you will be saved, haseem you will be saved, Jason’s love you will be saved God speed, for the lord never sleeps nor slumber and he will be working on our behalf, the lord will be glorified, and I will celebrate him victorious. Ministries will spring for from these three receiving salvation and praise will be perfected in them. Welcome to the family. Amen
They have their own choices, that's why they can choose if they want to because GOD shows how they find wife and husband too, they can if they choose to repent fasting and baptize and find wife and husband from another country and change the way they look. Why those Benjamin go to the field and find but funny because they steal who ever women they sees at the fields but hope those they just steal without knowing they already married or not but hope those they steal it only to help them come out from dark realm to separate and find their connection too. Believe if they have heart they have love too. Sometimes they might confuse I didn't know she was married already but it also way to help because nobody knows how to help because hard hearts but they are good too because they have their own soul and heart. That's why GOD'S WORDS says there is a to much stubborn man and they might call him f word but who can help him if you just look but don't help if you know how to. Please forgives. That's why the women have 7 husband doesn't have child with them and all die but not belong to each. Don't know!!!! Please help one another, that's matter because all have their own soul to think about it. Happy father's day to you all our precious brother's and brothers. We love you all because OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S LOVES you all the first...... Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Heyheyhey!!!!
The whole 'heart-hardening' aspect of God's character proves there is really no free will. Why even worry about what will happen? Who cares? Either you're going to make it or you're going to perish with all the billions of other souls that the Lord pre-ordained for destruction. What's the point in even stressing or worrying? What will be, will be. I just find it amusing how I can go from crying on my bed to the Lord, praising Him and praying for hours and developing intimacy with Him to then sin creeping back into my life and my heart hardening and then me borderline hating God. The change of heart is completely supernatural. You only have as much free will as He allows you to have so I say to myself: why even worry? Stressing and worrying all the time for a God that can just change your heart at a moment's notice if you do something He doesn't like or you screw up. And this is the same God who is meant to have such a BURDEN for the lost and to care so DEEPLY about His children? Lmao, how can He possibly care about just another soul perishing when he destroys billions and billions. My heart is so hard at this point I don't even care anymore.
I spent 40 years living a very sinful life with little or no interest in God or Jesus. I thought the Bible and salvation were nonsense. I was proud of my “toughness” and intellectual pride and I “celebrated” my sin!!! God has softened my heart and shown me the real nonsense is the way I used to think and behave. Thank you Jesus for calling me out of the darkness.
ptl. how did it happen was someone praying for this for you?
Please pray for me then because I am VERY hard, battling with stubbornness, pride and insensitivity to others.... I don't know what to do with it. I try to give up hardness all together
Thanks be to God and thank you for listening to Jesus 💕
Google censors conservative news that’s good :) to me it feels like God is hardening *MY* heart. I don’t wanna put the blame on God or seem like I’m blaming him. But I ask for help with sexual sin but it feels like I’m good for 2-4 days then I go right back to it.
Amen!!!
I need a miracle from God to be saved from this sudden blindness I can't seem to break free of. Please Lord, I ask for a soft heart. Let me love you and obey you forever. My mind is very willing but tonight my heart is hard. I need you.
Remember God's promises and remember that His word is truth. Feelings are just that. Feelings are often misleading. What you need to do is hold fast to His promises and truth and practise discipline of praying, worshipping and reading the word. Truth trumps feelings.

Glory to you my Lord Jesus Christ.

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you the Bible says.
Janice, I love you and God does to. His love for you is more then you could ever imagine. You must follow God even when it feels like he has given up on you. Because the truth is, he has not given up on you. He is WAITING for you. Read his word everyday for knowledge and wisdom. He WILL save you. You must do WHATEVER IT TAKES to find him. Fast if you need to. Seek him earnestly and eagerly every day. Take out any distractions in your life (social media, tv, video games, ect.) I was once where you are at. JESUS CHRIST, GOD ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF ALL SAVED ME!! GLORY TO GOD BLESSED BE HIS NAME!
My heart was harden by my own will, not God's
How did I soften it? I let go of my pride. I stop thinking about myself... the praises I get I stopped dwelling on... I stop thinking about my success and accomplishments.
I also started reading the Bible (3 chapters a day... do it for 1 year and you finish it). THAT transformed my heart completely.
I know the Feeling, But I am Never Giving up Hope in Jesus, No Matter What, Because Jesus Went through a Lot, and He Paid The Price For Us, And I Believe it is More Powerful than Most Understand or Know 🙌🏾🙏❤️🕊️
@@MasonS7 Hi Mason did your heart soften. Im in this place now.
God doesn't harden or soften a heart in the sense of an individual having no choice in the matter. It is the presence of God and the individual's response to His presence that hardens or softens their heart.
My name is Nicholas Celia and believe I've been consigned to hell; that my heart has hardened to the point of atrophy. There is a negative knee jerk reaction to much of the Christian paradigm, and believe I also am suffering a demonic attachment. Heavenly Father, in the name of Christ Jesus, forgive me of my sins as I repent, asking you sweet Jesus to allow me to break free from the fear, doubt, hopelessness and unbelief. Amen
Hi Nicholas. There is always hope in out precious and sovereign savior Jesus Christ. If you want to be saved, YOU CAN! It’s a free gift and not attained or diminished by any works you do! Hope you’re feeling better, I recognize this comment is rather old.
No you're not consigned to hell, I used to think that too but the devil is really trying to discourage you because of your situation, it's what he does..
My heart was hardened to the point to where I couldn't even feel it at all and ontop of that I was spiritually dead! Death of the soul along with a hardened heart due to years of rebellion. I have not known more terrifying days, truly
I thought I was destined to go to hell for sure but I never stopped chasing after God in repentance and at the end (4 months seeking him zealously), he came through and restored all that I lost due to my sinful life. I learned to never underestimate God's grace and mercy.
If I came back from that, what makes you think you can't? Satan's A LIAR. Keep going forward cause the more you fear the heavier the burden.
I feel like God recommended this video to me matter of fact to encourage those struggling with this scary situation, I know it too well, it's scary. no matter how you feel, there is hope in God :)
@nicholascelia3692
How are you
My heart feels hardened. I read one parable of Jesus about planting seeds. That some seeds stay good for a while but than it goes bad. I think I was one of those, Jesus touched me before. But I lost my path and tried to find it back. My heart still feels heavy I have sinned against people which is ultimately sinning against God, this has burdened me. I tried to pray few times for it but still feels heavy.
Please don't follow the counsel of the evil one. God forgives us through His son Jesus Christ. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just that He may forgive us
Our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
@Anne Edward Honesty I've been praying but due to the hardness of my heart I feel like I'm not doing it wholeheartedly, my heart was once so fire for the Lord but now I don't feel him anymore:( I thought I maybe did the unforgivable sin and I willfully sin that's why my heart hardened:( I have thoughts that I'm no longer saved:((.

Aaliyah Lin I have been there, and I know the darkness and heaviness of bearing the burden of that lie. If we believe that we are damned to hell after falling into sin, then we’re trusting in works and not in God’s divine grace. Humble yourself. Repent. Weep. Fast and pray.
It’s ALWAYS our hearts God is after.
Psalm 51:17 says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
King David and the apostle Paul were murderers yet Paul was Jesus’ most faithful servant, and David was considered “a man after God’s own heart.”

“Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side...but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.”

“And Jesus asked the disciples, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."”

jason 123 it’s a woman you really love, I can tell, I am currently in the same boat, I will pray for you, I know how it feels, her religions keeps us apart and I love her, I know you do too, I cry everyday, every night, I know the feeling. I will surely pray for you
@@tahjaespencer3463 thank you soo much!! You're absolutely right about everything. But God has a purpose for our pain and it will all work out for our good and his glory. I'll be praying for you too! Don't lose hope in our God, who heals, restores and delivers
I will pray for her and that she has a personal experience with Jesus Christ! Please pray for my friend Haseem he is also a Muslim.. pray they both find truth and comfort in Jesus Christ may the eyes of their hearts be open to Him. Prayers work! God is faithful

@@juliannehubert1974thank youuu, I will be praying for Haseem too, that the holy spirit convicts him of the truth.
Somebody please answer to me why I pray everyday in faith that God will soften my heart, not only to love Him but to have an understanding of Him and nothing happens. I want to follow Jesus but I haven’t heard anything from him in a year and a half. I was born again but I had no one around me. Christianity is not possible alone so I fell into my sins again. People have told me that grace leaves when you sin willingly. I’ve been spiritually blind since. Hard hearted. Im afraid I committed the unforgivable sin in my anger out of ignorance. Can someone get me some guidance or help? This has been a year and I’m ready to call it quits.

The LORD hardened Pharaohs heart so can soften hearts too...he pretty much did so to Paul.
I had my heart softened by a tragedy, but because I felt I couldn't bear the burden, I hardened myself back. Worst mistake in my life, now I have literally no desire to guide me back. Only a rational conscience that guides me to change, but no desire. I just do the right things because I know I have to
Never sear your conscience or harden your heart. It's second only to suicide (except you're not dead yet). You may not recover in time and you may miss out most of life in the process
I am so frightened I feel like running in the street but to no avail. It's like being in hell without knowing it yet
@universalrandomizer405 how are you now? I also feel I’ve hardened my heart too much but I have SO much desire to get back! 😭
How are you both?
My heart is hardened, pls pray for me...
I believe Jesus is my Lord and Savior, yet I keep falling into sin. I’m worried my heart will harden one day..

Please pray for my entire family. Majority are lost including my parents. My father's heart is very hardened. We flew there with our daughter last week for a memorial 'party' for my grandma. She grew up Catholic and I told her about God many times including on the phone the day she passed in the hospital , but I'm not sure if she accepted God. We used this chance to speak the truth. We got the microphone and shared the truth of God and sang Revelation song. I think another seed was planted but they still don't grasp it- they all gathered and got drunk and ate afterward, even the 'Christian' aunt of mine. Please pray for them I love them very much and I wonder why the Lord chose me as his Elect but not them.
I believe, that with God. All things are possible. Not to sound selfish. However, I request prayer from you. Please pray for me, to become closer to him and focus more on him. I need him in my life. I'm nothing with out him. I want to be an example for his purpose. I do believe in him. I desire him. Thank you.

Can y’all pray and help me? I’ve been in habitual sin and have sinned knowingly against God. Then I decided to stop sinning and try to turn back to God but then started feeling guilt for my sins and later started having doubts of God and His existence and felt like I was hostile/angry towards God. My pastor cleared some stuff and my doubts seemed to go away but the next morning the doubts came back and got worse and sometimes I think that he doesn’t really exists but sometimes I feel like He does. I feel like I’m an unbeliever now but somehow I still pray to God and pray to Him to change me and to restore my faith. I feel like the enemy has pulled me away when I tried to turn away from sin and back to God. I worry that I committed the unpardonable sin. I noticed that I also lost emotion on things because of all this. I feel like I’ve been spiritually blinded and my heart has hardened. I want God to change me and to open my spiritual eyes and change my heart and to restore my faith fully to Him to obey and honor Him. My sister and pastor and someone said this is probably a season I’m experiencing but im doubtful of that. I want to return to Him but I feel extremely hopeless, tired, unmotivated now and feel like giving up. But I don’t want to give up even though I feel exhausted and hopeless :(
Going through the same thing right now cheers
Don't give up, keep your faith in Christ.
Me keeping my faith in Christ really helped me
Bro how are you now.
Hey how are you?
When we know our Savior we want to become better, healed from our sins. I had to overcome the perceived insult, accepting that I AM a sinner in need of mercy and grace.
God can change you at the snap of your fingers. Instantly in all time. The hardening is the for softness - The other way to perceive it is war and peace, This is always the difference between is where we children learn in self realizations, we are both the question and our own answer, we just do not realize it at the time.
I believe God can do the seemingly impossible. Praying myself for many and one in particular who thinks I am a joke and all I stand for no matter how I loved. God has a way of getting our attention. Believing for the miracle. Soon I will see the change God made.
Thank you for this clear teaching. It’s very helpful and encouraging, as I endure separation from my prodigal spouse.
I've wondered that if a hardened heart can really soften. God can hardened whom ever he chooses and he can give a new heart to. He gives man free will. If they change their mind then God will soften their heart.
I changed my mind please pray for me
God softened my heart, and I couldn't stop crying. He hardened it back 😔🙏✝️

Can you please pray for my heart? I’m 14. And just today I felt my heart harden. I want to come back to God but I don’t know what’s stopping me. Or what I am holding onto that is stopping my heart from accepting God fully.
Do you think it's pride? Ask that God looks in your heart
We have to give up everything for God.
If we loose our life we will find it
If we keep our life we shall loose it
I SO Wish that EVERYONE ever born were chosen! To be Chosen is such an unfathomable thought. Grace, Mercy, Love for me-why me? I’m so glad He Chose me.

Mike Hill
Salvation is not about you stopping sin. Its about Jesus bearing your sins on the cross, in your place, and wiping them OFF your account forever with his precious blood (and that includes future sins).
You said, "I'm not sure Im saved because im in bondage to a sin..." If salvation were based on you and what you do, then you definitely would not be saved. But it is not.
Jesus made peace for you with God by *_the blood of his cross_** .* It is finished. Rest. He's done it all. Nothing you have to do...trust and rely on what HE did out of his great love for you. God bless.
@@hemadepeacethroughtheblood5800 Amen I fully agree I recently listned to a sermon by John Mcarthur on repentence and thats made me worry ive not had true repentence which only God can give because as you say its all about Him not me :)

I’ve had a hardened heart towards Jesus I can’t read the Old Testament without my heart being angry at him I don’t know what to do I’m scared that I might’ve blasphemed against the Holy Spirit I need help
How do we know if God hasn’t given up on us or given us over? If ones heart was hardened and couldn’t cry but then could and felt it months later does that mean God softened it and has forgiven them?
Please pray for me.
Agreed, but how about apostates who know the truth and turn their backs on it? Can they turn back?
"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt."
Heb 6:4-6
Does this mean that there is not other way than the Gospel, or that there is no longer a way to soften their hearts?
It’s possible for God to change any man that has not committed blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. It’s improbable that men and women aligned with apostasy will ever be free from their own deception, especially those religious trusting in their own self-righteousness decade after decade (those so old, hardened, and deceived and in danger of passing away). God will save them if He chooses.
Dan Ball
Read Luke 15 and see the heart of God...(and this is not even about people being SAVED...but you can see the heart of God in it.) And to say someone cannot be forgiven DENIES the heart of God...who is LOVE.
Hey pastor John, I was recently confronted with a question from one of my friends that had me wondering, it’s purely hypothetical, but if Satan asked for forgiveness, would and could Jesus redeem him?

I don't know what to do anymore, I feel like God has left me and abandoned me to my lust. Please pray for me
I need help. I have a habitual sin of pornography and masturbation. Saying this is hard enough because I hate feeling like I'm vulnerable by opening up. I recently thought that I was saved but I fell back to the sin. I want to feel sorry but i haven't repented yet and I feel like i should but theres no drive. My mind keeps thinking "oh you are fine, just try again" but I feel like I am abusing Gods forgiveness... should I just give up and not ask anymore this is the 3rd time I would have asked for forgiveness but this time I don't feel the drive like last time. I feel like I have a hardened heart and I dont know what to do. I know I want him but i dont know how to make my heart feel it like last time... am I a lost cause and should I just accept that God wont forgive me?
Some guy from mars Some guy from mars Hey man. I know exactly how you feel. For the past 10-12 years I had watched pornography nearly every day almost 3 times a day sometimes. I stopped back in March time frame, so it’s been pretty recent. I know how you feel. First of all Romans 8:8 says “so then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” It’s not what he wants for our life, but it’s such a struggle. Sometimes we feel like we can’t be forgiven, but that’s not true! Matthew 18:22 says to forgive 70 times 7 which would be 490. It’s not a literal number how could you even keep track of that. Jesus was meaning that he forgives us over and over again. However, we should strive to not sin. I have two solutions to propose to you that helped me STOP watching pornography. #1 Watch ((Two strategies to win the war on Lust with John Piper)). #2 download the Blue Letter Bible app and read the commentary of Romans 6,7, and 8. You can read the commentary by Chuck Smith by clicking on the Bible passage, Select Text Commentaries, and go to C2000 Series on Romans 5-6. Scroll down to where the commentary starts on chapter 6. Also you can read the commentary for Hebrews chapter 12 that John Piper recommends you to read in the video (Two strategies to win the war on lust.) I hope you look up these verse. Let me know if this helps you. Know that you are not alone in the fights against your flesh. We all fall short, but we need to fight against our flesh.
@John dodge @guillotine283
Thank you guys. I am trying again today. I put blocks on my phone and have a bible app that I have saved parts of scripture that when I get that urge I read and try to fight against it. I get what yall mean when i need to get passed this feeling of vulnerability. I want to try again. The only thing is... I'm scared because of one piece of scripture that I cant remember where it was at but it said along the lines of "when you knew Jesus and turned away from him, there is no more sacrifice for you." And that scares me because I k kw I want him and I dont know if I did turn my back on him. I had those thoughts but I always pushed them out.
I just feel lost. Like I cant be redeemed, and that I need to get used to the fact that Hell is waiting for me
Some guy from mars That’s a lie from the pit of Hell dude!! 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Jesus wants you to be saved more than you want to be saved. He’s a better Savior than you are a Sinner!!!! Run towards Him. He loves you and forgives you so much. Serious read Romans 6-8. You’ll find that in Romans 7 Paul writes about how he finds himself doing the thing he hates to do. It’s because as long as we live in this flesh no good thing dwells in our flesh like nature. Also Jeremiah 17:9 says, “"The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?” We are wicked little sinners, but he is a gracious forgiving God. You’re not damned to Hell brother. Also you’re not more saved the day you don’t watch porn vs. the day you do watch porn. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.” See you are saved by GRACE alone BECAUSE of your FAITH in what Jesus did on the cross!!! Nothing you do or don’t do can make yourself any more justified than you are now. Only Jesus death on the cross can cleanse you. With that understanding that he Died for YOUR sins it should make you go ((WOW)). I should deny myself because of Jesus SACRIFICE. Romans 6:1-2 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in (sin) that GRACE may (abound)?
2. Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live (((any longer))) in it?” Were saved by GRACE. Just work on not abusing that GRACE. Your going to struggle, but it’s great that you are struggling vs walking in sin with no remorse.
Thank you so much guys! Its been a rough week with other things that have happened besides my own sins. And I feel like it's all a test. A test I was failing and almost gave up on. But I crave to have him with me and to mold my disgusting self into something he wants for the world and will be in his favor. I have thoughts here and there still of "maybe he didnt forgive me and I'm just playing myself" but I go back to Roman's 8 38-39 to show just how powerful he is. More than I or my thoughts and that I can and have to try again; and though I may stumble I know Jesus will pick me back up and help me.
Some guy from mars
Hello. I used to have similar fears.
I have a question for you: Can your tears of sorrow over your sins WASH AWAY your sins? Does your sorrow have the power to wash away your sins?
I have another question: If you stopped pornography and masturbation from this day forward, would that take the sin and guilt of doing it in the past....would it take the sin and guilt off your account?
One more question: Are your tears of sorrow a sufficient sacrifice to save you? I mean is that what the gospel (good news) is about? YOUR sacrifice?(See 1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
God bless... and I hope these questions help. Feel free to respond to me and ask me anything.

Hi everyone, four years ago I went through something traumatic that caused my heart to harden/close up I cry and cry and beg and beg god to open my heart yet nothing happens. People have even prayed over me and nothing changes. Idk what to do. Pls help
I feel the same
And why does it feel like no matter how much I want to love and serve God , im not able and how is it a choice and how do I keep hope if God has gave me over no matter how much I cry to him and try to seek him and to change myself? Please help im terrified
Hello. Have you gotten better ?
We are flooded in this world with a corrupt lifestyle even Lot who was considered righteous was vexed by what he was seeing living in Sodom it takes practice to keep are eyes on Jesus Christ God loves us and is there whenever we turn to him get up even when you fall
So God hardens all hearts from birth so as to soften some of them? By making the condition of man from birth to be in a state of total moral inability Calvinists have put the ultimate blame for all the hardness of men onto the “sovereign decree” rather than on men.
please I need you to pray for me, I have a heart of stone and I am about to fall into a cauterized consciousness, pray that Jesus softens my heart and I can return to him
If you have a porn problem you should also quit that
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Ecclesiastes:3:10-15
Please I too am a witness of Jesus Christ and his Word is only in the Bible.

I still have a question about Pharoe... God TOLD Moses that he would HARDEN PHAROES HEART SO THAT HE WILL NOT FREE THE JEWS...
Can someone, anyone answer this? I personally take it that God will decide who he will and won’t “accept”. So that makes me wonder if God wants some to be lost for a purpose??
i had the same question
🙏
Yeah but on the flip side of that God doesn't just Harden people's hearts .if they're hardening their hearts then that's one thing because I'm their to blame for hardened their hearts but good does NOT just decide oh you're going to hell and oh you're not ! that is not scriptural
I feel I am hardened too im afraid
Mercy Lord from Israel's hear, rejection spirit, Judgment
confusing, who does the hardening of the heart? its surely us if we are willfully turning away and practicing anything terrible?
Exodus 9:12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Christians do not "turn away" from God. They are dead on the cross, born again and already seated in heaven. Their names are in the Lambs Book of Life from the foundation of the world.Jesus Christ does not give salvation and take it away, His mercy endures forever even as we sin till our dying day. Turning away from sin as the new creation is a reflection of His finished work.
@@urielmesenja1040 thanks!
@@urielmesenja1040 Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion. Hebrews 3:15
@@CoCoFantastique My reply was to address the wording of "turning away" from God.To imply a Christian can walk away from the Lord is not scriptural, that in itself teaches works based salvation and we need to be very clear that while Christians do rebel, sin and slip our salvation is secure in Yeshua There is no fragility in being a Christian, it stands on the pillars of Gods infinite power :)
Only action will soften the heart. God will give you the heart when He considers. Just like redemption, it is given to us, not earned
@universalrandomizer405 are you better now?
Why God hardens some makes sense if you first understand that God is going to save all men.
1 Timothy 4:10-11 KJVS
[10] For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. [11] These things command and teach.
The 9th chapter of Romans gives a closer look at why God hardens some.
Romans 9:11-13 KJVS
[11] (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) [12] It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. [13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
So that the election might stand! A few verses later in this chapter goes deeper into the matter.
Romans 9:20-24 KJVS
[20] Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it , Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [22] What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: [23] And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, [24] Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
The book of Revelation and the catastrophic events which are prophetically foretold in this book, can be viewed in context with the above verses from Romans. A careful reading of these verses point to a cause and effect relationship between verse 22 and 23 based on the Greek word translated into the English word “that”near the beginning of verse 23. The definition of that Greek word follows.
Strong’s Number
G2443
Thayer’s Definition
that, in order that, so that
It was necessary for there to be vessels of wrath fitted for destruction who are playing a role that God assigned to them. In order that there would be vessels of mercy. Why? It may not seem obvious at first, but affliction and suffering are necessary for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Romans 8:16-19 KJVS
[16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together. [18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
The body of Christ can only achieve spiritual maturity through having their senses exercised in discerning good and evil.
Hebrews 5:12-14 KJVS
[12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. [13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
God plays a primary role in this maturation process.
Hebrews 12:6,11 KJVS
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Once the body of Christ is made mature by God, they will begin to fulfill the purpose God has in mind for them.
Ephesians 1:9-12 KJVS
[9] Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: [10] That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: [11] In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: [12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
It is like a sock that is inside out. One reaches into it, grabs the toe of the sock and then pull the toe through to have the sock right side out. The sock is the world and the toe the Christ that puts everything right.

Well said really good at telling it truth fully
Can you tell me if you know from God's word where all the catholics go when the die, they ones who don't know any Truth of Jesus only that He was born of Mary therefore she is worshipped more than Jesus in the church.
A man once told me that Jesus and His mother are to be worshiped equally.
Thanks so much x

All men are to be saved, but not all at the same time.
I believe I am a demon because of my hardened heart, and that I will suffer and can't be restored. What should someone in this case do?
Pray I am going through this rite now . But God is loving and faithful
@@sadededier9385 hw r u now
Definitely can relate, happened to me when I was 22.
God doesn’t harden your heart. We do that
God doesn't "harden" people's heart
The word used in Exodus against Pharaoh is actually: "Strengthen"....
In other words, to increase in "potent" what is already there! Please get that straight!
The pharaoh heart was already resisting God even before God even "strengthened (increasing the potency)" of the pharaoh's heart
It is like Captain America serum
It makes a good person... more good
and a bad person... more bad
When they mean forbidden homosexual they mean you have to balance masculine and feminine
Please I need help, my heart is hardened and I haven’t had sleep all night and I need help please, pray for me I need help my name is Gabriel all I want to do is be obedient to God and find his love please
How are you doing now?
How are you doing now?
@@shelovesjesus I'm doing better, God has a way of punishing disobedience but he loves us, while we breathe there is mercy otherwise God would just end us if he did not want us to have mercy anymore
@@limitlessluckyangel1773 You’re so right!! I was in punishment for a good while but now I can help other people who are going through it hallelujah! He doesn’t help people who don’t follow him. It makes me really happy he cares for us so much. I was freaking out I committed the unforgivable sin and punishment was happening fast. But he showed me believers who still want him can’t commit this sin. I’m Glad you are doing better!!! Amen God bless 🥰❤️
Questions I have:
1. Why are humans held accountable for things they have no self determination for? Life, salvation, sin, etc.
2. Why is God's answer's to life always "you are dust" or "you are a vapor" or "potter over clay" or "where were you when" or "I will have mercy on whom I will"?
3. Given our memories, How are we going to stop sinning after the millennial?
4. How are we going to get over seeing loved ones being thrown into the lake of fire knowing that GOD is the one that put them there?
5. How has your son's reprobate lifestyle affected your walk with GOD?
For 1. God gave us free will to choose to follow him or not
The forth one. I don’t think we will REMEBER our lives on earth when we get to heaven. We won’t miss out old lives and there will be no husband or wife or son or daughter, of fact, you’ll be too happy to even be thinking about the people in hell. You won’t be able to cry or get angry
I personally experienced the hardened heart along with a spiritual death of the soul due to many years of rebellion.
The death of the soul... i have not known more terrifying days in all my life.
Did God restore you?
@@julianjauregui2938 yep, it was quite the frightening experience though. learned a terrible lesson from those days
@@tribulentone2599 man bro how did you come out of it? Im cold spiritually Im struggling with a hardened heart and pride and I'm just forcing my self to pray and read and even in my bible reading I'm not getting much revelation. I feel faithless and like giving up im dealing with fear and anxiety and nightmares and demonic attacks nightly and I feel exhausted in soul mind body and spirit. If you dont mind can you explain to me your testimony of what you went through? I would love to hear a testimony of hope to kind of encourage me.
@@julianjauregui2938 yeah man, my testimony would most likely help.
One day I felt something seriously wrong because I was deep into sexual perversion like I legit reveled in my wickedness, I loved every minute of it that I was becoming extremely depraved and I wasn't bothered by it, I just kept lusting ferociously without brakes
That was until one night, I felt something seriously off, like my heart was as hard as steel and felt "dead" within. Can't even put it into words but you know what him talking about. That was until I saw a preacher talk about the wages of sin equals death and that's where it shocked me because it's about the death of the soul.
I was beyond terrified, so I searched the issue from front to back and the only conclusion was that this spiritual wickedness I indulged in what ALL MY FAULT.
Knowing I had no other choice but to repent and I mean truly repent, I wept, I prayed, I read my Bible, I didn't involve myself in not a single speck of sin I could think of, I persued after God's Holy spirit like never before for Four months.
Shortly after four months straight I suddenly felt normal again, my heart, my soul revived and oh man I was relieved and I sure felt closer to God because there were was a lot of synchronicity and abnormal occurrences in my daily life where he was showing me he was there with me.
My best advice for you, persue after him like I did and try living as righteous as you possibly can.
Faith
Obedience
Discipline
This is key from my experience. And let me tell you what, that wretched Satan will throw so many lies your way like "your too far gone", "you committed the blasphemy of the holy spirit" don't you believe it. You are not too far gone, he's just trying to stop you from that path. I don't care how discouraged you are, keep pushing and never give up. God is there.
On a side note I had a buddy who was spiritually dead as I was as well who had the hardened heart due to pride , blasphemy and some other serious sins plus matter of fact, I honestly think his case was even more severe than ours because he became bedsick for weeks without end and he claimed to have seen God in a dream being Very Angry at him for his apostate rebellion. But in the end he was restored too and never looked back. With God there is hope indeed.
Goodluck man, never ever give up nor fall for the Devil's lies you will feel and hear along the way, he's gonna throw every negative whisper or emotion your way to discourage you. Goodluck
@@julianjauregui2938someone please offer some guidance. I’m in this same position.
He needs to concentrate on the shattered....
Pray with me, Jason and julianne, my Lord give ears unto my lips, you children come before you with a task bigger than us, my lord we put our trust in thee and only thee. Our loved one needs saving from the shackles of Islam and religion and ABBA only you can do this thing, for there is no saviour besides you o lord. My king be exalted and glorified in this matter, let saving them be a testimony unto your glory and mercy to us and a testimony unto your Glory lord Jesus for them and their household. What is their wisdom compared to yours ? Confront and confound them o God, show thyself wise. What is their stubbornness to you oh God, when you command the skies and animals which do not understand language and they do as you say. Just speak thy word only and these people be saved. As Abraham went pleaded with you to save Lot in your he city of sodom, so do we plead with you to save these people and many more like them Lord if you find, a remnant of good in them, save them oh God. As you appeared to Paul on the way to Damascus, do confront them in all your Glory, for they kick against the prick. My lord exile them not from your presence for they will perish. My lord save them, arise oh God and stretch forth thy hand, phill them from the depths of the ocean as you did with peter lest they drown, arise my God for you are my salvation and a light unto my feet, and so shall you be unto them, speak thy word only and it be done lord, Aisha you will be saved, haseem you will be saved, Jason’s love you will be saved God speed, for the lord never sleeps nor slumber and he will be working on our behalf, the lord will be glorified, and I will celebrate him victorious. Ministries will spring for from these three receiving salvation and praise will be perfected in them. Welcome to the family. Amen
Amen!
He seems to have softened mine but i act cold hearted people artificial these days
I imagine its more so just grace
They have their own choices, that's why they can choose if they want to because GOD shows how they find wife and husband too, they can if they choose to repent fasting and baptize and find wife and husband from another country and change the way they look. Why those Benjamin go to the field and find but funny because they steal who ever women they sees at the fields but hope those they just steal without knowing they already married or not but hope those they steal it only to help them come out from dark realm to separate and find their connection too. Believe if they have heart they have love too. Sometimes they might confuse I didn't know she was married already but it also way to help because nobody knows how to help because hard hearts but they are good too because they have their own soul and heart. That's why GOD'S WORDS says there is a to much stubborn man and they might call him f word but who can help him if you just look but don't help if you know how to. Please forgives. That's why the women have 7 husband doesn't have child with them and all die but not belong to each. Don't know!!!! Please help one another, that's matter because all have their own soul to think about it. Happy father's day to you all our precious brother's and brothers. We love you all because OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S LOVES you all the first...... Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Heyheyhey!!!!

The whole 'heart-hardening' aspect of God's character proves there is really no free will. Why even worry about what will happen? Who cares? Either you're going to make it or you're going to perish with all the billions of other souls that the Lord pre-ordained for destruction. What's the point in even stressing or worrying? What will be, will be. I just find it amusing how I can go from crying on my bed to the Lord, praising Him and praying for hours and developing intimacy with Him to then sin creeping back into my life and my heart hardening and then me borderline hating God. The change of heart is completely supernatural. You only have as much free will as He allows you to have so I say to myself: why even worry? Stressing and worrying all the time for a God that can just change your heart at a moment's notice if you do something He doesn't like or you screw up. And this is the same God who is meant to have such a BURDEN for the lost and to care so DEEPLY about His children? Lmao, how can He possibly care about just another soul perishing when he destroys billions and billions. My heart is so hard at this point I don't even care anymore.
❤I'm praying for you
